has agreed to comply with china's air defense identification zone after it flew unarmed b-52s last week. some say that's the wrog message to send and it conveys weakness to the chinese. what do you think? >> the administration started out by doing right thing. they single out a couple of b-52s on a freedom of navigation mission which is what we should be doing in the aftermath of this announcement. that happened immediately. it was the right thing to do. i think there was a miscue in terms of commercial aviation. it was at odds with what japan was doing with their own commercial aviation sector. >> we are now as u.s. commercial aircraft entered this zone that china has declared is their air zone. we are saying this is a pan am flight. we don't mean you any harm. we are alerting them, who we are. >> they're responding to chinese air traffic controllers. a flight from tokyo to hong kong or tokyo to taipei. they're radioed by chinese air traffic controllers. they have to then respond by gig their coordinates and anything else the chinese might ask. >> japanese airlines are not doing that.
